You don’t need to go to college when you have a Ryan.
It was also halfway through coloring this comic that I remembered this guy’s name wasn’t Ryan. Oh well.

How will Buff use his newly found knife skills? Learn about it in next week’s Oil.!

Here starts another Oil arc!
Things are a little jumbled so after the series ends I’m going to move some things around in their proper order. I got time and space here guys. I’m in the mood to do what all middle-aged moms like me do: blog! So here it goes! Get ready!!

So you guys hear about the latest Batgirl fiasco? Talk about a goof-fest.

The thing every nobody is talking about.

For those of you lucky ones out of the loop, DC announced a series of issue variant covers featuring the popular Batman villain, Heath Ledger. The variant cover for the latest issue of Batgirl (seen above) was “too controversial” for certain tumblr users. The cover is a tribute to Alan Moore’s Batman classic: The Killing Joke – the superhero comic Alan Moore published immediately after publishing a book that tried to end superhero comics. The fact that this cover is a tribute doesn’t mask the fact that you can clearly see that the Joker is being DISRESPECTFUL to Batgirl and that she is clearly IN TROUBLE! The idea that a hero WHO IS A GIRL would ever be dominated by an ALPHA MALE super-villain is, of course, absurd and sexist.
If you think what I’m saying is stupid it’s because it is. I was being humorous, because being extreme and embellishing things is considered funny to Will Farrell fans and other 8th graders. You could tell I was making jokes because I used letters in all caps which is hilarious.

Anyways so enough people threw a fit that this cover wasn’t “politically correct” enough and DC caved in. Obviously angry 16 year old girls who don’t actually read comics complaining about a comic book is counter productive to DC’s current business strategy. (The strategy is make money). So DC decided not to publish the comic featuring Batgirl with Jack Nicholson.

But this is where things got 10 times worse. So DC took down the cover and angry neckbeards on the internet threw a fit. Despite single 25 year old college dropouts not being the book’s target demographic, this book instantly became the most important to these young renegades. They’re claiming that DC is censoring their artists, and that basically this is the end of the free world. I have actually heard people compare this business decision to the rise of the Soviet Union. Nice try ISIS, but DC beat you to the whole “destroying America” thing.

Freedom’s greatest threat was actually the MPAA.

So a rebel group of people who are pretending to be productive by sitting on their computer all day are organizing “movements” to counter the censorship and tyranny that will eventually lead to the inevitable downfall of the sacred comic book industry. Because fighting over a made up issue on an already dying market is important. They’re calling it #ComicGate. I’m not kidding. If that doesn’t display how petty and pretentious this is, I don’t know what does.

The flag of our future nation.

To add further fuel to the #FightThePower flame that no one is paying attention to, mods of insignificant subreddits as well as other social websites are deleting submissions having anything to do with the controversy. Which isn’t that surprising considering Reddit is a website built around the exchange of internet points depending on whether or not someone has the same opinion as you. The oppression faced by these heroes is similar to that faced by the troops in World War II and Jesus. “The war is real,” says the people who chose to become causalities.

Moral of the story? Loud people are loud and at the end of the day this doesn’t matter and you just wasted 10 minutes by reading this post. Who honestly cares about this? Literally no one. Sometimes the internet warps your perspective and makes you think that people care about things that don’t even really exist. Afterall, we’re all living in the Matrix and real life is actually the timeline that Friday Night Lights takes place in. The TV show, not the movie or the book. People are going to forget about this in a month. That’s how it works. People get upset about something, they act like their entire life has been leading up to this moment, then they move on. My sister is currently washing her face with honey as a testament to this truth. For a world that’s made so much intellectual and technological progress in only the past 30 years, it’s strange to think about how we’re still exactly the same. People will always be people, and I guess that’s the beauty of it. Your parents had Vietnam, and you had Batgirl #40 variant cover.

PS: Batgirl #40 isn’t very good read. It’s kind of overly teen girlish but if you’re into that kind of thing maybe you’ll like it. Sometimes I’m into that but I don’t know man. It’s really well drawn though so way to go Babs.

I had a lot more planned for this volume of Gang Fight, but a lot’s changed over the past 2 years.
I felt like I should at least upload the pages I thumbnailed in Watts to conclude Radcliffe’s self discovery episode

There’s a missing sequence between pages 27 and 28 where Karma convinces her hot sexy Artificial Intern date to quit his job and move to Mazelis Town. That’s what this final panel is showing: the Intern leaving Cordon City and starting his new life.

Gang Fight will continue in a few months, although it will be very unfamiliar to all current readers. However – Radcliffe, Karma, and Hinch Yushu will one day return in their own series: FedUp!

And that’s Green Bean Salad! Thanks for reading folks!
Hope you enjoyed reading this antique written by a middleschooler.

This was the second appearance of the Great Bean God. I had a lot more planned for the comic, especially with this one character, but the website Green Bean Salad was hosted on at the time died out due to a migration of support. If that doesn’t make sense it’s because I haven’t eaten all day because I’ve been listening to Ariana Grande nonstop.
